AI models are evolving rapidly but enterprise advantage is built elsewhere.
In this episode of the CDO Magazine Podcast, Fortune 100 enterprise CTO and transformation leader Jyoti Chawla joins Karen Odegaard of Guidehouse to unpack why data foundations, governance, and operating models — not AI models — determine whether organizations can scale AI responsibly and effectively.
Drawing on decades of leading large-scale modernization efforts across IBM, Deutsche Bank, and Cisco, Chawla discusses managing AI risk, preparing for agentic AI, and building operating models that align innovation with measurable business outcomes.
A must-listen for CDOs, CTOs, and AI leaders navigating AI at scale.
